Kalel Mullings ran for 92 yards and a career-high three touchdowns, leading Michigan to a 50-6 win over Northwestern on Saturday to make the defending national champions eligible for a bowl.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Michigan Wolverines are bowl-eligible after blowing out the Northwestern Wildcats 50-6 on Senior Day. Northwestern opened the battle for the George Jewett Trophy by getting former Wolverines wide receiver A.J. Henning involved with a five-yard catch, but an Aamir Hall interception stalled it.

This game was important for the Northwestern football team too as they still had postseason hopes coming into the game. The Wildcats came into the game 4-6 and they needed a win against Michigan and a win against Illinois next week to secure a bowl berth. With this loss to the Wolverines, they can't finish better than 5-7.
